Colburn
Re: Colburn
Complete, obtained his degree. Passed Green beret (?)training alongside James Coyle.
Re: Colburn
His performance was garbage!
At a very young age ALL players (not fullbacks) ar told "dont let the abll bounce" and "if in doubt kick it out". HE was flapping all day (wingers are supposed to catch aswell as fullbacks). That dive he did was ludicrous and he should have played it dead.
He also isnt as young as people make out also he is young but not that young.

How can we take you seriously when you can't even get his name right :eusa17:Webby1971 wrote:I hate to criticise young players but I'm afraid my patience has run out with Liam Colburn, he is so nervy in defence and if we stick with him the opposition will pepper him, I also cannot see what he gives us in attack?? Yeah he's scored a few tries but to be honest my 11 year old daughter could have scored them, does he ever beat a man, could you see him running the length of the field? I dont think so. He needs to to dropped to the reserves for the time being but for some reason his face seems to fit with Nobby and I see he's in the 19 man squad for KR and will no doubt start. Why has Shaun Ainscough not been given a run, he had a good pre season, does that count for nothing?

Re: Colburn
Come on guys he has had 1 bad game in a handful this year. Hes a young lad and aint this to be expected? I think colbon could play in the pack as he is a strong lad and he would also be very quick. He seems to get more joy out of taking drives than the rest of the team so I would be tempted to play him in the second row and maybe play stanton/Ainscough on the wing.

Re: Colburn
I agree re The pack.
Age he is not as young as implied. Same age as Tommy L I am guessing.
My view is based on all the games last season and this season too.
Prior to completing his degree he was part time. He is now full time and has not improved nor is he faster. That either means he cannot become faster or that Wigan RLFC do not do anything to maximise the speed of their players. Which I would actually believe. Back in the day we used to have Bill Hartley from the Harriers I believe working exactly on that with players.

Re: Colburn
Ainscough is in the dog house at the moment. He recently went on holiday without Noble's permission.
But that said he has pace to burn.

Re: Colburn
Wondered why he was not in the 21s.
